The one was Miles getting too excited and running it into his own goal.

Would that officially count as a triple hatrick?

We’re likely to have a defence involving one or both of Sean McGinty and Steven Saunders, so running quickly is probably more than enough to cause us all sorts of bother.

Could extend that to O’Ware and Hall as well.

4 slow, lumbering diddies at CB. What a time to be a Jags fan.

As long as we give the ball to Keatings whenever he is close to the goal rather than scoring actual goals I can’t see anything other than 3 points here.

Give the ball to Trafford. Always give the ball to Trafford.

The thread title has made me even less enthusiastic for this game to exist.

This fixture always reminds me of the uncertainties surrounding our original promotion to the SPL, which undermined the celebrations somewhat. Over the years I've been able to forgive and forget.

With that said, after careful reflection, I hope we absolutely batter them this week.

You mean the bit about you not having a compliant stadium, but being allowed to get promoted anyway.
I suspect that if you had put money into the stadium, you may not have had a good enough squad to get promoted.

You were happy to be part of a closed shop whereas we challenged the rules, took on the SPL and won. After this the rules were relaxed before being scraped altogether.

We were the team that resulted in the scrapping of the unfair stadium rule that resulted it many far-too-big legoland stadiums in Scottish football.

First team from the Highlands to reach the top flight.

First team from the Highlands to win a major trophy.

First team to win a major trophy with Danny Devine.

The Caley = pioneers

[Stan Butler Says]

Some seriously deluded views from Inverness fans here. The reality was that far from “fighting” the SPL, Inverness prostituted themselves before the corrupt SPL to gain promotion, having deliberately not spent a penny on their ground. Money was spent on players’ wages which they didn’t otherwise have. They were rewarded by joining their fellow financial cheats such as Motherwell and Livingston in the top league, whilst Partick Thistle were truly shafted having been forced to literally build a new stand to be allowed promotion previously. This was a disgraceful episode in Scottish football. And can someone remind us how much Aberdeen made out of this - £750,000 springs to mind.

[RiG]

Let that be a lesson for clubs who were happy to follow meekly as sheep unlike the lions of ICT.

Thistle fans obviously still a bit pissed we gave them Devine, Storey and Mutombo whilst taking Sean Xavi Welsh

I don't think you quite grasp why we ended up with a compliant stadium.  

 

I'm just about over Danny Devine, but don't talk to me about Mutombo.

You are right that the rule was a bad rule, but at the start of the season it was the rule that the clubs should have been adhering to. Your Club didn’t.

Were you fighting for fairness before you were challenging for promotion.

We had a compliant stadium by ground sharing at Pittodrie which was clearly approved by the governing body for the 2004-2005 season, Stewart Milne charged us £30,000 per game.

During this period Tulloch went ahead and built two new stands giving us a capacity of 6000 which was approved and partway through the season we moved back to Caley Stadium. 

Aberdeen btw were second bottom at the close of the 2003 - 2004 season, PT were bottom on 26 points having won only 6 of their 38 games.

As I recall Caley initialy needed 8 votes for approval to ground share but only gained 7-5 in favour by the SPL clubs with some abstaining, we went on to win it on appeal.

Didn't Motherwell avoid relegation the season before by the same scenario?

Please don't make us remember.

 

I still hate Hearts, btw.
